Andy The Missionary.

Okay! This week was WILD, but I can't remember half of it so here we go. 



☆for p day last week, our district went to Vance Airforce base to see the T-6s and then to fly them! Virtually. turns out my serious pilot face isn't serious at all.

☆had literally the worst/most dramatic day out on my mission. (I won't tell the public here, but if you want to know, email me haha) 

☆had MLC!! Oh I love the mlc it's just the bestest. We had an awesome council that is going to make our mission SKYROCKET!!! I JUST KNOW IT!!!! But the best part, our mission president's wife surprised the mlc with PAPER COPIES OF THE NEW PREACH MY GOSPEL!! BEST DAY EVER!! (the rest of the mission's will come in the next couple of weeks)

☆oh my goodness. So we were on our way to teach andy, and he called us saying "hey, hopefully you're okay with this, but I invited my friend to church, and also to the lesson, he wants to learn more. Sorry I didn't ask first, is that okay?" UHH yeah. So we had a lesson with him and his friend, Seth. SETH IS ELITE!! So we are now teaching him too. Andy does all of the missionary work here lol. 



What I've learned this week:

So as an mlc we were asked to read Chapter 8 in the new pmg. It talks about goals and planning. It's so important to have GOALS, but how do we get to the goal? The PLANS. 

Such a good reminder for everyone, because this life is to accomplish, learn, and enjoy! 



Plans and goals don't just apply to missionary life! 

"Learning to set goals and make plans can bless you throughout your life. It can help you make and keep covenants with God, serve faithfully in the Church, pursue education, grow in your employment, and build a strong family." -pmg chapter 8



We learn in SO MANY places in the scriptures that accountability is a Godly thing. Christ was accountable in the creation, and He held His apostles accountable to His standards. We can be accountable for our goals and plans because we love God. God wants the best for us! 

I wish I could just copy and paste my brain onto here because it was such a cool council.

Anywho, my invitation is to make a goal that will bring you closer to Christ, then make a plan for that goal! I'd love to hear your experiences! 



Gosh I love you all. Have the bestest week ever! Remember, Jesus loves you!

Hey y’all!     This has been quite. the. week.      Highlights: -got to see Sister Demmerly at mission tour! -Got to spend some time with Ann at Bingo -Had a ward Christmas party, all of the primary girls decorated cookies and gave them to me. And they waited for me to eat them…. it’s so good to see that they look up to me, and want me to get obese.  -had a Christmas devotional with the whole mission -Sister Okie drew me the best picture ever of me and Morgan Wallen, and Sister Sody told a story based on the picture. Funniest comp bonding ever:) -Held the CUTEST puppy ever named Lola.     So on Friday, we were in the middle of teaching Toni. The lesson was pretty good, when all of a sudden the biggest BOOM happened. Like the blinds and doors were shaking in the house. And there was the brightest light that flashed. (Now I’ve been in Missouri during huge thunderstorms, I thought I’ve seen and heard it all.) I thought that WW3 was starting. No joke....

Hey y’all!! Oh. My. Goodness. I changed my P-day because I’m going the the temple today. I’m so happy to be going to the Lord’s house with Norma-Jean, but tell ya what I am TIRED!!! But in the best way;) Its been a kind of slow week and a half, the roads are COVERED with ice so we have not been allowed to drive. So that means: 1. doing all of our work over the phone… 2. begging members to give us rides 3. walking everywhere we go  Soooo this week we…. -did over 60 hours of phone work -had ALL of our lessons cancel on us -more than half of our member meals canceled on us -we ran out of food, money, and miles -I made sister sody so jealous because everyones little kids come and give me the biggest hug, then just stare at her…and it always happens to the people who we’ve never met. She says it’s a spiritual gift haha.  -got my fingernails painted by Dallas’ little girl named Haven.  -got our hair cut by sister kern, she’s from Salem and I had NO IDEA!! -watched “why I believ...

Next Stop: PROVO MTC

Hey y’all! What a week! Hope you all had a happy Halloween! I love being a missionary.  My district and I joke that it’s giving us a sliver of what being a new parent is like.  You go to bed tired, you wake up tired, all day you’re tired. But it’s okay, because you love it!!  -My family made it to Italy! They love it! Must be quite the adventure having no car, no house, and having a loaf of bread cost nearly $10…  -I have spent over 50 hours on the computer between classes, lessons, and zoom meetings with my district and my companion.  -I taught my first lesson! It’s starting to feel so real and I’m loving every minute of it.  -Had the ward trunk or treat… I love halloween so of course I had to dress up… -Had chicken and rice for dinner! I’m telling you, any type of chicken is a food that makes me proud to be an American.  -Probably drank half of my body weight of lemonade and chocolate milk… don’t worry mom. Nama and Bampa are taking good care of me! ...
